Hello all,
I'm running Trinity (latest stable) on openSuSE 12.3. In Konqueror (file management). It seems I can get previews for "smaller" pictures (up to at least 4896x3264 pixels), but not for larger ones (7216x5412).
Gimp loads these, kview does not, neither can Gwenview. However, if I load the pictures in the Ristretto Image Viewer (that obviously creates thumbnails for it's own use), then refresh in Konqueror, I get the previews.
So I guess there is some limit with the "engine" used for picture viewers in Trinity? I must check, but I think it worked OK with the KDE 3 from openSuSE, maybe I'm wrong.
Note that I _did _ check the settings in configure-konqueror - Previews & Meta-Data and set the maximum file size at 100MB, to test (the files are around 5 MB jpg), it did not change anything,

I'm not 100% sure, but if I remember well, most file managers with previews does not show thumbnails previews of very large files, to make sure your computer doesn't stall if you enter in a folder full of very large pictures files. For me, previews works well in Dolphin and Konqueror, but with its side-bar showing information on pictures, Dolphin is more convenient for picture viewing.
Is it possible that this setting only changes after a logout/login?
Have a nice day! -Alexandre

The settings that affect this are in Control Centre / KDE Components / File Manager. There is a tab titled "Previews and Meta-Data" which has a setting for the maximum filesize that will have a preview generated when browsing in icon mode, and another denoting whether to use an image's embedded thumbnail (if any). You can also select which access protocols will use previews, so that you don't accidentally preview large files over a network.
I could well suppose that TDE will use an already generated preview if another tool has made one and left it in the previews directory, although I can't find what that directory is called right now.
The "Behaviour" tab also has an option to cause the preview to be used in the mouseover tooltip.
